“Another goal here, 50 goals at the Neo Química Arena, a very significant milestone for me. Good game, we're creating great opportunities there. Unfortunately, Memphis left the game. I'm a bit alone up front now. We need to make the best decisions there so we can create great goal chances now. So, it's about being smart,” said the player.

Subsequently, Yuri also spoke about the goal conceded by Corinthians and emphasized the team's reaction still in the first half, highlighting the importance of maintaining focus for the final stage.

“Unfortunately, we conceded a goal on our way out, but we were able to bounce back quickly. We were very resilient to turn things around, and in the first half, we managed to equalize. So, we can return in the second half more focused and concentrated to seize an opportunity and secure this result well,” he added.

After facing Flamengo in Itaquera for the national competition, Corinthians remains focused on the Brasileirão but will only play again after the FIFA Date period. On the evening of the next April 1st, Wednesday, at 9:30 PM (Brasília time), the Alvinegro will face Fluminense at Maracanã for the ninth round of the 2026 Brazilian Championship.
